They Should Have Given You the Oscar lyrics

<Intro is half spoken-half-sung> I'd like to contest the awards given out by the academy 'cause I know of a great performance that the judges didn't see They should have given you the oscar For the way you went and broke my heart There's no name that you could mention Who'd have done quite as much with a part And just for the way you said you loved me And the way you made each lie sound sincere Oh, they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year If the critics could have seen Your acting on the screen I'm sure they would have cried as much as I You knew your lines so well How was I supposed to tell That all along you loved another guy? They should have given you the oscar For the scene where you promised to be true Every word was so convincing Any audience would fall in love with you And just for the way you said you loved me And the way you made each lie sound sincere Oh, they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year Yeah they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year FADE Yeah they should have given you the oscar For the best performance of the year
